MT Nicholas Carp.

MT Andrew Nichols is an entL usast on
 the subject of carp raising. He has had much experience and says, with pardon able pride, that his matching ponds at
 Taunton are unexcelled He says, "I have just leased the 5J-acre pond at the lower end of Elm street, Monroe, near Parsius Sharp's. Next Spring. after repairing and rebuilding the dam, shall stock it with 40,000 carp, taken from my Taunton ponds. These will grow rapidly and soon be ready for market. 1 sell all I can raise to New York parties, who have engaged ahead of my facilities. 1 have six ponds now, including a new two-acre pond in Taunton. The water of different ponds varies greatly Taunton Lake abounds with large fish. but 1 have never seen a small one there. lu my own ponds. they hatch readily and have 10000 in one hatchery That is altogether too thick and shall remove many of them in the Spring. How do catch them? By draw ing off the water and picking them up in my hands. 1 have three ponds to stock. Those in Monroe are good hatcheries, but 1 can't tell about the big pond until have tried" MT Nichols has the three varie- ties of carp and gleefully says that he has the Meyer, or scaleless carp. which the government fisheries have not They were imported by the State of Ohio. which guarded them jealously; but. through a friend, some of the finest stock was secur- ed for him. One of these, matched June 20, was shown. It was six or eight inches or. Before they are three years old, these fish attain a weight of 10 pounds; they are as good as they are great and theil sale is faster than their growth.

The papers say that the New York & New England managers contemplate with drawing the through freight via Harlem, River from the Consolidated road and talk ing it on their own floats to Wilson Point, Norwalk. There they would put it on the Danbury & Norwalk and shift the cars to the New England track at Hawleyville, thus getting the whole haul. Another story is that Housatonic passenger traffic is to be diverted from the Consolidated by sending through passengers to New York via the New England and New York & Northern roads, instead of sending them to Bridgeport, as they can be transferred in that way almost as quickly. It is also alleged that Housatonic Valley passengers from New Haven and points east will be diverted from the Consolidated when the Derby extension is finished, by sending them over the extension. These changes
 it is claimed, will take thousands of dol lars out of the Consolidated yearly.

selves. They lack both harmony and
leadership. Said one of them yester-
day, I'VE havn't time to fool away on
Tariff matters, reduction of revenue can
wait Said another, few moments
later, ), The one thing that cannot wait
is the reduction of the surplus by a re-.
peal of the tariff. Presidential aspirants
like Carlisle, Morrison, and Randall. have
sacrificed opportunities for reducing
taxation, it would seem, to prevent the
elevation of one of themselves above
the other. They have certainly acted
in such q way as to convince the people
that they will prevent any Legislation
which they cannot have all their own
way.
With a resolution urging the repeal of
internal revenue taxation, strong reso-
lutions in favor of the Blair Education
al bill have been introduced in the
North Carolina Legislature. The fact
seems to have been overlooked that
if the Blair bill is passed, there will be
no need to worry about the Treasury
surplus. If Education, coast defense,
the new Navy, and other things were
attended to the liberal scale pro-
posed, reduction would follow expedite
eusly, without touching the whisky and
tobacco tax.
